Story

I am swimming the equivalent of a Marathon (1703 lengths) in three months, in memory of my father-in-law, Laurie Crane.  He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer in November 2020 and very sadly died in February 2021. The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation were brilliant, giving professional advice over the telephone. They helped the family at an extremely difficult time, here's more about them.

Since 1990 Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation has funded over £30 million in lung cancer research, lay the groundwork for lung cancer screening, funded the first ever lung cancer nurse specialist, performed the first ever lung cancer keyhole surgery, funded and built the first lung cancer research centre in the UK, campaigned for life-lengthening treatments, raised awareness of lung cancer, challenge the misconceptions around the disease, provided emotional, practical & financial support for thousands diagnosed & living with lung cancer.We're here to ensure no one faces lung cancer alone. Calls to our Ask the Nurse service have increased 61%, whilst our latest Keep in Touch support service is ensuring the most socially isolated are not overlooked or forgotten.
